Hoje é dia de PUG-PE! #python #pythonusergroup

As we watch Elon Musk slide into rightwing radicalization in real time, I’m reminded of this 1941 piece by Dorothy Thompson.
“Who goes Nazi?”

In short: it is the people who love money and status and power that are at risk.
Those who resist the urge are the people who have a solid family life; a job they love for the work, not the money; a moral framework based on pluralism and equal access to opportunity.
Worth a read. #nazi #Twitter #liberal

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

@pygame on the bright side, It is so nice when you feel connected to a community of people around a project and you see it improving!

I feel like #Python has many such environments, big and small, like Blender, FreeCAD, pygame, pyxel, PySimpleGUI, and for me more closely in recent times pyp5js and py5 :)

Mastodon which is incredibly hot, supports RSS beautifully.

Just add .rss to any account to get the feed. Amazing!

https://mastodon.social/@davew.rss

Open that in your favorite feed reader. It’ll work.

Post a screenshot, say what the reader app is.

And pass this on to everyone who uses a feed reader.

Spread the word!

This is a huge deal for the open web.

I've been arguing that the Tory austerity policy from 2008 onwards caused Brexit by causing economic hardship, which again caused voter discontent leading to pro-Brexit votes as a form of protest. Now there's hard research data indicating that's exactly what happened.

You could argue (as I have) that the story of British politics from 2008 onwards is the tories punishing voters economically and voters then asking for more punishment.

Attached: 1 image Did #austerity cause #Brexit? In the past weeks there was much talk in the UK on a return of #austerity. I am a Prof of Economics at Warwick University and I wrote a paper in 2018 that shows how #austerity was instrumental to bringing about #Brexit. This is a means of #introduction on here. Open Access ➡️ https://doi.org/10.1257/aer.20181164 The paper shows that #austerity was a pivotal driver of #Brexit result. But that is only half the story: most likely there wouldnt have been an #EUReferendum ...

@foufoutos I loved Peek but it stopped working for me in Manjaro XFCE and I wish I could understand why. I opened an issue asking for help on how to report better... https://github.com/phw/peek/issues

I'm sad because #peek a very lean Linux screen recorder stoped working for me :(
I'm using RecApp and BlueRecorder now but they don't work as well for my needs.

On joining Mastodon

An academic friend asked for help joining Mastodon. I wrote a detailed email in response that I thought it might be useful to others. I’m also going to teach a master class in Mastodon at my school…
